During a lull in the conversation what is heard of the song translates to "somebody told me that destiny doesn't care about us. That it gives nothing and promises everything.

Added DiffLines:

* LovingAShadow: It's made very clear in the movie and by WordOfGod that Tom is more fixated on an idealized version of Summer as his desired ManicPixieDreamGirl and doesn't see the actual flawed human being in front of him. Naturally, this blows up badly in his face when his inability to let it go leads to some painful heartbreak for him.

Reason: deconstructed not means portray as unrealistic. Quoting the description: " the trope is not altered in any way, nor is any attempt made to make it more believable. It is used straight - far straighter than normal, in fact - and is examined in great detail, usually to try and show what circumstances would cause the trope to manifest in real life and/or what the real-life consequences of this trope would be, revealing some flaws beneath, like saying, "Be careful: this is what happens when you have this trope." " Beyond this, this is a zero context example.

* BlindDate: Tom goes on one with another, unnamed girl after Summer dumps him; as he's still too distraught to do anything but talk about their breakup, it doesn't go well.

Reason: The blind date is clearly adressed within the movie itself as "Alison"; as wel as being credited with that name in the movies credits and on Imdb.
